   Looks like a CAT back, so you need a CAT or decat pipe attached to the front of it.

   as lee says, you'll need to put a cat in or a decat.
   
   you should have the cat from your old system, so id just whack that on for the time being

    eBay or the for sale forums on here. Pretty sure all 8V CATs are the same length, so as long as the pipe fits an 8V with CAT under car you're fine.

    because you have a new problem every day, it makes my saxo seem reliable. I just think that a project like this should be taken on by people who know what they're doing and not somebody who doesnt know if their car's an 8v or 16v.
    
    please dont think i'm having a dig at you, i'm really not. I have a lot of respect for people like you who do so much to their cars and learn a lot.
    
    your posts just amuse me i'd say the best thing to do is find an exhaust that fits.

    fair play, when i was 6 my dad bought me and my brother a ratty old fiesta mk3 and cut the engine in half to teach us how it all worked. since then we've rebuilt 5 classic cars and serviced our own. (i'm 19 btw)
    
    is your car mechanically sound? If i were you i'd concentrate on getting the car running exactly how it should be and then start with the bodykits and exhausts etc.

    I dont get why your car didnt have a cat on the standard exhaust anyway, Shurely if you have just bought this mental exhaust then you have your old one dont you?

    you have 3 options mate:
    
    1. get a de-cat pipe and fit it.
    2. get a new cat section either brand new or second hand and fit it.
    3. just leave the exhaust you had on before and start looking for another exhaust system.
